A putative type IVB secretion system contributes to the pathogenicity of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis lineage 8 strains associated with the Far East scarlet-like fever

Abstract Yersinia pseudotuberculosis is a food-borne pathogen responsible for a self-limiting mesenteric lymphadenitis. Yersinia pseudotuberculosis lineages 1 and 8 are also associated to the Far East scarlet-like fever (FESLF) syndrome, characterized by skin rash, hyperemic tongue, and desquamation. Genome sequencing...

Acquisition and erosion of toxin–antitoxin systems in bacterial chromosomes

A stepwise model for toxin–antitoxin evolution in bacterial chromosomes is proposed: initial acquisition mediated by mobile genetic elements, preferential integration into permissive genomic regions, subsequent genetic streamlining of linked loci, and progressive gene loss.

Mobile genetic elements drive a plasmid fusion and deletion lifecycle shaping evolution and antimicrobial resistance

It is proposed that MGE-driven fusion-deletion cycles represent a general principle of plasmid evolution, explaining the rapid emergence and persistence of multidrug-resistant plasmids across bacterial pathogens.
